are you in lockstep with john boehner if immigration is on the agenda for 2014? >> i think you have to start with first thing's first. when congress gets back the first thing it has to do is take the budget deal and actually makes it law, otherwise government can literally shut down on the 15th. i think we'll get that done, but it hasn't been accomplished yet. you have a farm bill that's going to be accomplished and i don't see much on the immigration front until the spring at the earliest. i think those other things have to get done first. >> do you think that that is the real logical dateline agenda in talking about immigration and the possibility of any type of reform is really just a red herring coming from john boehner to buy time for the 2014 mid terps? >> no. i don't think the speaker is quite serious. he's been consistent in wanting to pursue a step by step approach. four bills have actually cleared the house judiciary committee and are ready to come to the floor. so i think he's sincere about wanting to do something. i just think until you actually have

the pressure was on john boehner before. when we think about the authenticity of that answer and action behind those words, is it more words just to buy people cover to get them through the mid terms? >> no. i think speaker boehner is at a point where he has taken the very conservative, tea party members of his caucus, taken to the edge and looked over just how bad that government shutdown was and they've been scolded. they've been scalded by that if you will. he's free to do -- he's in a much, much more powerful position than he was prior to the government shutdown. i certainly believe that. i think most democrats believe that. that being said, he wants to actually be the speaker for all 435 members and we have now seen him do time and time again where he is not doing the majority the majority relying on democrats to get things out of the house. one thing that's coming up, the spending bill that has to be done by january 15th. that's a key indicator. if he gets that and sends it other to united states senate in a couple wee
